Alright, I was just wondering how you managed the disparity (in my head at least ) between those two sentiments. But that makes sense.

greed/good samaritanism

I'm sure it wasn't, but good intentions does not a good movie make.

Ask and you shall receive dear sir.

Also...

I finally figured out who she reminds me of! She looks like a much younger Catelyn Stark.

Had been driving me nuts.

/Loads the poutine and maple syrup shotgun shells/

I love you guys too.

/Cocks gun, and preps the neurotoxin grenades/

This. You guys have no idea the sort of joy the very idea of 3 whole, 4 hour commentaries brought to my soul.

But seriously though.

And I have love talking about recent movies, but just so long as it isn't at the expense of a later commentary for that movie. Which turns out it isn't as much of that as we thought, so woot.

"The Time Lords' ability to change species during regeneration is referred to in the television movie by the Eighth Doctor in relation to the Master. This is supported by the implication by the Daleks that the First Doctor's apparently human appearance was not his true form (The Daleks' Master Plan, 1965) and the Fourth Doctor's Time Lady companion Romana's regeneration scene in Destiny of the Daleks (1979). In that scene Romana demonstrates an apparent ability to "try on" different bodies from a number of different species during her regeneration, before settling on a final, humanoid form which physically resembles Princess Astra of Atrios (see discussion below).

While explaining the process of regeneration to Rose at the end of "The Parting of the Ways", the Ninth Doctor suggests that his new form could have "two heads", or even "no head", although it is unclear if he is merely joking. In the 2005 Children in Need special, which takes place immediately after, the newly regenerated Tenth Doctor, while examining his new body, makes a point of checking that he has two arms, two legs and two hands, implying that regenerations can sometimes result in physically deformed or non-humanoid forms; whether this is also a joke is not clear. In the second part of The End of Time (2010), the Eleventh Doctor also enumerates eyes, ears, hands, fingers, and legs, and after feeling his hair, even wonders for a moment if he has changed sex. (In a later episode, "The Doctor's Wife," the Doctor refers to another Time Lord, the Corsair, having been both male and female in various incarnations.)"

Well I'm a new-who guy (Namely cause I havn't gotten around to original who yet), but that has always kinda bugged me. The Doctor seems like he should be a LOT older than 900 and some.

Though I love the mid-life crisis idea. It would be awesome if that every time he gave his age it was some wildly varying number.

Since we're talking about it. If you think about it, with the amount of time we actually spend with the doctor compared to how often he regens, you gotta imagine that there are just decades and decades of time between adventures where the Doctor is just off doing his own thing.

Also...why is the Doctor always human? Isn't it like specifically spelled out that it's possible for him to regen as any species in the verse?

bam, you want nerdage, I can do nerdage.

Yeah, I'm pretty much completely with Red as well.

It might be just because it's newish (Though let's be honest, it's basically just the intermission, just with...less... structure) but it feels very scatterbrained, and not in the good way that you get in commentaries, because that always has a central core that you guys always eventually come back too, no matter how far you stray down the side alleys (And of course, those side alleys are usually some of the most hilarious/thought provoking/insightful moments on DiF). And if you aren't actually watching the movie, most of the time it doesn't matter, because the actual film is just used at that central spine around which to talk.

With this, it kinda wandered over here for a bit and then it went over there and then it just sorta ended. IDK, I can't say I'm a fan, but we'll have to see how it develops.

And I'm also in agreement that it's disappointing that we probably won't be seeing the commentaries for Hunger Games or JC.

On the other hand, about this actual episode. There was some interesting stuff, but it all felt very truncated and shorthanded, never really delving into anything past the surface and first impressions in the way DiF does so well.

Ah well, this is long enough by now. Just my 2cents on the whole matter.
